Prices suggestion about . colt shov
strikes Us as good one. Cannot tn
horse men all over the county get to

some time this fall? There are now
large number of fine horses in thi
county, and if all their offsprin,
could be gathered together they woul,
certainly make splendid showing
Indeed we do not know why q perma

Stock Breeders might not be formel

the best specimens of fine stock from
all over the county would certainly
stimulate the business and crea te /,
spirit of emulation that would be of tn,
greatest advantage to the stock inter

this suggestionswil be well consideret
by our stock men, and we assure then

share in the way of providing exhibl

brilliant affair. The handsome room!
were well filled with q company tha

The Celebration Committee have
received a letter from Superintendent
Harding of the Wichita road, assuring
them that arrangements will be made
whereby passengers from Bronson
Moran and LaHaIpe may be brough,
to lola the Fourth of July OH the reg
ular freight train which reaches thi.
place at ll:07:: a. m. The returning
train will leave here at s or . o'cl och
in the evening. This arrangement
will make it easy for people from al
over the eastern past of the county to
attend our celebration, and they arr
most cordially invited to do SO. Thu

reduced one half. Let every body

We 60 to press too early to report the
given by the High School
Alumni to the Normal Students last
evening. We do not doubt, however
that it was pleasant and successful
affair rs the arrangements that had
been made were very complete. We
hope at least, that it convinced the
Normal Students that the people OF
lola are not 50 entirely selfish, cold
and "stuck-up" as some have
to represent them.
Capt. l.. NJ. Sawyer. of Pasadena
has our thanks for late
copies of the Daily Star, of that city,
which We have read with much int er-
est. The illusions We find in these
papers to the mountains and the sea
as everyday things, are very tantaliz-
ing aud almost make US wish we were
rich instead Of only honest, and could
pay our old friends visit in their new
home.
There seems to be considerable con.
fusion and misunderstanding as to the
day on which the school meetings will
be held this year. The law was chang.
ed last winter and now directs that they
be held on the last Thursday in June,
which occurs this year on the SOth day
of the month. This is official and may
be relied on. District clerks are re-
CURED to post the usual notices at least
ten days before that date.
Mr.. T. w. Jones of Wise neighbour
hood was in town Tuesday and in con-
with him he told US that he
measured 3 stocks of corn at
intervals of So hours, and found that
in that time one of them had grown 81
81 and another inches. When
corn is growing at the rate of a quarter
Of an inch an hour, no wonder it keeps
people awake nights.
